East of Yanmen City.
In a courtyard.
This was where Wang Zongxi, Wang Yu, and Wang Qiao were staying.
During this time, Wang Zongxi had been hiding in Yanmen City, creating small conflicts in an attempt to force Du Qi to come out. However, all his plans had been resolved one by one, but Du Qi still hadn't come out.
This wasn't a day or two.
It had been almost a month.
Wang Zongxi hadn't made any progress and was quite anxious. He called Wang Yu and Wang Qiao over and looked at them, saying, "During this period of time, our operations have all ended in failure. Especially since Du Qi hasn't come out from the beginning. I think there's something wrong with this matter. Could it be that Du Qi isn't in Daizhou at all and is doing something else? "
Wang Yu said, "Patriarch, if Du Qi isn't in Daizhou, where could he be?"
Wang Qiao nodded and said, "Du Qi's men have always been in Daizhou. Especially Du Qi's women, Li Yanyun and Qianxue, they've always been there. He can't just disappear into thin air. "
Wang Zongxi said, "What I mean is, could Du Qi have secretly returned to Chang 'an? After all, it was the Emperor's order for him to come to Daizhou with him. "
Wang Qiao's eyes lit up. "That's possible."
Wang Yu said, "Patriarch is right."
Both of them agreed with the idea.
Wang Yu said, "Patriarch, since Du Qi isn't in Yanmen City, what should we do?"
Wang Zongxi's eyes flashed with coldness. "Du Qi is extremely smart and cunning. He's not easy to deal with. The defeat of Sima Changsheng, Zhou Yunhe, and the others already proved this. So even if Du Qi isn't here, we still have to be careful. This time, we'll do our best and create a big mess. "
Wang Yu asked, "How do we go all out?"
Wang Zongxi said, "Mobilize all the Wang family members who have sneaked into Yanmen City and loot the tea shop and bookstore tonight. If a fire breaks out in these two places, it'll be difficult to put it out. "
"Previously, we arranged for a small number of people to go there, but they were all blocked by Du Qi's men."
"This time around, I don't believe that Du Qi's men will be able to fend off all of us. Moreover, once the fire spreads, it will spread rapidly and burn down a large number of houses nearby. "
"As a result, the situation has escalated."
Wang Zongxi said, "The bookstore and tea shop belong to the Du family. Now that something like this has happened, this old man wants to see how Du Ruhui, as the acting governor of the state, will deal with this matter."
"If he has the slightest intention to cover it up, we will expose this matter and let the people of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes step forward. Last time, when our Wang Family's people impeached Du Ruhui, it was Li Yuan who suppressed it. "
"But now, Du Ruhui wants to protect Du Qi's businesses. That's bending the law for personal gain."
Wang Zongxi said, "I don't believe that Li Yuan can still suppress this news and suppress the various great clans' people in the court."
Wang Yu said, "Family Head is wise!"
After a pause, Wang Yu suddenly said, "Family Head, but what if, what if Du Qi is really in Yanmen City? It's just that during this period of time, Du Qi hasn't shown up. What should we do? "
Wang Qiao said, "Family Head, what Wang Yu said also has a certain degree of truth."
Wang Zongxi said solemnly, "Even if Du Qi is here, the plan doesn't need to change. How can we care so much now? Whether or not Du Qi is in Yanmen City, we must take action. There is already no turning back. "
Hearing this, Wang Yu and Wang Qiao said no more.
The two only need to listen to orders.
Time passed little by little.
The sky gradually darkened.
But the Wang Family's residence was brightly lit.
In the hall, Wang Zongxi sat upright. Below him were Wang Yu and Wang Qiao. The three of them discussed tonight's matter during the day. Now that it was night, they all knew that tonight was the key. A full moon rose in the sky. Bright moonlight scattered in the courtyard. Inside the courtyard, there were actually people dressed in black, standing solemnly.
There were about fifty of them.
These were all people of the Wang Family.
Some of them were even Chi Lang of the Wang Family.
These people were Wang Zongxi's confidence in sneaking in, and also his confidence in taking action. Originally, Wang Zongxi had also arranged for people to cause trouble, intending to burn down the storehouses of the tea shops and restaurants. However, because there were people guarding them, they failed in the end.
Now, Wang Zongxi was going all out.
Previously, he mobilized few people.
This time, he mobilized enough people. Even if there were people guarding the storehouses of the tea shops and restaurants, he could still forcefully kill them and then achieve his goal of setting them on fire.
This was Wang Zongxi's confidence.
Wang Yu raised his head and looked outside the hall. He could see the disc-like moonlight in the sky. Wang Yu turned to look at Wang Zongxi and said, "Family Head, the moon is already in the middle of the sky. It's about time to take action."
"No, wait a little longer."
Wang Zongxi shook his head and said. His eyes were cold. "Everything requires stability. It's not too late now. The people guarding the storehouses still have enough energy. Let's wait a little longer and take action later to ensure that the plan goes smoothly. "
Wang Yu said, "Family Head is wise!"
Now, Wang Zongxi was no longer sitting in the hall. He simply stood up. He led Wang Yu and Wang Qiao into the courtyard and looked around at all the black-clothed people with solemn expressions. His expression was cold and solemn.
At this moment, Wang Zongxi's emotions were surging.
Everything would happen tonight.
Wang Zongxi said coldly, "All of you are already aware of tonight's operation and know your duties. I won't say anything unnecessary. "
"In short, I don't care about the process. I only care about the final result."
"No matter what you do, I only care about whether you can complete the mission in the end. I have always been fair in my rewards and punishments. As long as you complete the mission, I will definitely fulfill my promise. I will remove your slave status and allow you to become part of the Wang family. I will also allow your children to be able to study. "
Wang Zongxi said seriously, "Whether or not everything can be achieved depends on you."
Everyone's expression was still solemn.
However, there was a deep and sharp light in their eyes. Because these warriors of the Wang family were all slaves of the Wang family. They did not have any freedom. Even if the Wang family killed them, they would not be held accountable.
Removing their slave status and even allowing their children to study was what they all hoped for.
Knock! Knock!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Zongxi was in the courtyard, only a few steps away from the door. As soon as he heard the knock, he immediately became vigilant. One had to know that Wang Zongxi did not reveal his identity in the Gate of Yan, and he did not interact with anyone.
Wang Zongxi did not interact at all in the Gate of Yan.
Now that someone suddenly knocked on the door, Wang Zongxi immediately became vigilant.
"One of you, go and see who is knocking on the door."
Wang Zongxi ordered. Immediately, a black-clothed warrior strode to the door, put down the bolt, and opened the door.
"Puchi!"
The moment the door opened, a saber stabbed in from outside the door. It pierced the black-clothed warrior's heart and even penetrated his back. As the saber was pulled out, the black-clothed warrior's body leaned back and fell to the ground with a bang.
Immediately, there was a series of hurried footsteps. A group of people and horses entered the courtyard.
These people were all wearing armor.
All of them were filled with killing intent.
They were the imperial guards that Li Yuan had sent to Du Qi. They were all experienced soldiers. After Du Qi and Jin Wuque decided on the plan, they went to where the imperial guards were stationed and told them about the arrangements for the night.
These imperial guards were ordered to protect Du Qi. At the same time, they also followed Du Qi's orders to carry out the mission. Now that Du Qi had given the order, they would naturally follow it.
The imperial guards entered one by one, and Du Qi followed closely behind. Beside Du Qi, Jin Wuque and Mordor were also present. However, Liu Zhengxi did not come. He was now helping Du Qi to sort out some of the administrative matters. He was also in charge of the bad people.
After all, Du Qi could not be in charge of everything alone.
With Liu Zhengxi around, Du Qi could relax a little.
After Du Qi entered, he stood still and his gaze fell on Wang Zongxi. He looked around and saw many black-clothed men who were ready to go. A smile appeared on his face.
It seemed that Wang Zongxi was also going to take action.
